Abstract

In the brushless motor, a magnetic recording disk is to be mounted on a hub. A base plate rotatably supports the hub on the upper surface. A laminated core is fixed on the upper surface of the base plate and has a ring portion and a plurality of teeth that extend radially from the ring portion. Coils are wound around the plurality of teeth. A cylindrical magnet is fixed to the hub and is magnetized for driving with a plurality of poles along the circumferential direction and is arranged to radially face the plurality of teeth of the laminated core. A wire of one end of one of the coils is drawn out to the bottom surface of the base plate through a hole arranged on the base plate. The wire is connected to a driving line for supplying a current to the coils at a position other than the position of the hole on the base plate. The hole of the base plate is plugged with a resin.

Claims (38)

1. A disk drive device, comprising:

a hub on which a recording disk is to be mounted;

a base rotatably supporting the hub on one surface of the base through a bearing unit;

a core fixed on said surface of the base, the core having a ring portion and a plurality of teeth that extend radially from the ring portion;

coils wound around the plurality of teeth; and

a magnet fixed to the hub, the magnet being magnetized for driving with a plurality of poles along the circumferential direction and arranged to radially face the plurality of teeth,

wherein a wire of one end of one of the coils is drawn out to the other surface of the base through a hole arranged on the base, and

wherein the wire is connected to a driving line for supplying a current to the coils at a position other than the position of the hole arranged on the base,

wherein the hole arranged on the base is plugged with a resin, and

wherein the driving line is insulated against the other surface of the base by a strip-shaped insulator, and wherein a hole in communication with the hole arranged on the base is arranged on the insulator.

2. The disk drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the resin with which the hole arranged on the base is plugged is applied so that the resin covers the connection between the driving line and the wire of said end of said coil.

3. The disk drive device according to claim 1 , wherein a hole that is in communication with the hole arranged on the base and that does not overlap with an edge of the hole arranged on the base on a side of the other surface of the base is arranged on the insulator.

4. The disk drive device according to claim 3 , wherein the hole arranged on the insulator is formed so that the hole arranged on the insulator is concentric with the hole arranged on the base and so that the diameter of the hole arranged on the insulator is smaller than the diameter of the hole arranged on the base.

5. The disk drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the driving line is a strip-shaped wiring, and wherein a hole that is in communication with the hole arranged on the base and that does not overlap with an edge of the hole arranged on the base on a side of the other surface of the base is arranged on the driving line.

6. The disk drive device according to claim 5 , wherein the hole arranged on the driving line is formed so that the hole arranged on the driving line is concentric with the hole arranged on the base and so that the diameter of the hole arranged on the driving line is smaller than the diameter of the hole arranged on the base.

7. The disk drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the wire of said end of said coil is welded to the driving line.

8. The disk drive device according to claim 7 , wherein the wire of said end of said coil is spot welded to the driving line.

9. The disk drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the insulator that includes polyimide is formed.

10. The disk drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the base that includes an alloy of aluminum is formed, and wherein a film for insulation is formed on a surface of the base.

11. The disk drive device according to claim 1 , wherein a concave portion is arranged on the other surface of the base, and wherein the driving line is arranged in the concave portion.

12. The disk drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the hole arranged on the base is plugged with the resin so that the resin sticks out from the hole arranged on the base on said surface of the base.

13. The disk drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the resin is cured using both ultraviolet irradiation and heating.

14. A disk drive device, comprising:

a hub on which a recording disk is to be mounted;

a base rotatably supporting the hub on one surface of the base through a bearing unit;

a core fixed on said surface of the base, the core having a ring portion and a plurality of teeth that extend radially from the ring portion;

coils wound around the plurality of teeth; and

a magnet fixed to the hub, the magnet being magnetized for driving with a plurality of poles along the circumferential direction and arranged to radially face the plurality of teeth,

wherein a wire of one end of one of the coils is drawn out to the other surface of the base through a hole arranged on the base, and

wherein the wire is connected to a driving line for supplying a current to the coils at a position other than the position of the hole arranged on the base,

wherein the hole arranged on the base is plugged with a resin, and

wherein the driving line is insulated against the other surface of the base by a strip-shaped insulator, and wherein, with regard to an edge of the hole arranged on the base on a side of the other surface of the base, the insulator covers a portion of the edge, the portion being on the side of the connection between the driving line and the wire of said end of said coil.

15. The disk drive device according to claim 14 , wherein the insulator that includes polyimide is formed.

16. The disk drive device according to claim 14 , wherein the resin with which the hole arranged on the base is plugged is applied so that the resin covers the connection between the driving line and the wire of said end of said coil.

17. The disk drive device according to claim 14 , wherein the base that includes an alloy of aluminum is formed, and wherein a film for insulation is formed on a surface of the base.

18. The disk drive device according to claim 14 , wherein a concave portion is arranged on the other surface of the base, and wherein the driving line is arranged in the concave portion.

19. The disk drive device according to claim 14 , wherein the hole arranged on the base is plugged with the resin so that the resin sticks out from the hole arranged on the base on said surface of the base.

20. The disk drive device according to claim 14 , wherein the resin is cured using both ultraviolet irradiation and heating.
